Also, for a mecanum drive robot, you want to call a mecanum drive function instead of the tankDrive() function. The RobotDrive defines two mecanum drive functions: mecanumDrive_Cartesian and mecanumDrive_Polar. Take a look at the Javadoc to learn how to implement them.

We added a fail safe system for if any reason the mecanum code doesn't work or the driver doesn't feel safe using the mecanum code we added tank drive which is a drive style our team feels very comfortable with while the mecanum code is new.
